I cut off all the leaves except for the top one that was still a roller. I don't drain my naners, but I do store 'em standing up on the floor. Never noticed any moisture. My bloomer is 3 years old.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
